Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." Titus 3:7

When I was a little girl I was stubborn, strong minded to a fault. My mother was a disciplinarian, needless to say that I received multiple spanking a day.I was spared only after apologizing and promising not to repeat my mistakes, that was my first experience with "Grace". Naturally, I was too stubborn and proud to ask for forgiveness and as a result I suffer a lot of unnecessary pain.
Many Christians do not avail themselves of this amazing gift of grace because it seems so simple, just too easy. We live in a society in which everything has a price. It is almost impossible to grasp the concept of grace; either by fear or shame many people don't run back to God to confess their failures. The longer they stay away more defeated they become.
One of the privileges of being a Christian is knowing that regardless of our sins God is always waiting to welcome us with open arms. His love for us is beyond measure. He knows all about us, He knows our heart and mind. I assure you that God is waiting for you right now to confess and repent. "In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace". (Ephesians 1:7)
In return, we have to treat others with compassion. Let's learn to forgive as our Father forgives us. Are you having trouble forgiving people right now? Why don't you give them a call, take the first step in obedience to Our Heavenly Father. See,pleasing God should be your purpose and that is greater than your pride.
Friend, let's take a moment to thank God for His Grace.
Let's forgive each other and remember to be a blessing.
Praise the Lord!
